One of my favorite places to boondock in Arizona is the Buckeye Hills Recreation area which I reviewed a year ago here:
Buckeye Hills Review . This time I camped the Rec area for thirteen days although I cheated once and drove into Buckeye itself after about a week to get groceries and workout at the Anytime Fitness there. The last time I camped there the weather was just about ideal with daytime in the mid-80's and nighttime in the mid-50's. This year, however the temperatures were about fifteen degrees above normal during the last half of my stay there so I eventually decided to move to a nearby Escapee RV park so I could get an electrical hookup to run the Tank's AC during the high-90's afternoons. I'll write up a review of the Escapee park in a separate post. Here's a few of the pictures from this year's Buckeye Hills experience:
